Disease, plagues, and pestilences will definitely increase as we get closer to the END and the return of the Lord, and the only possible way to stay healthy is not through drugs or exclusion from the world but by FAITH. So if you donâ€™t have the faith that the Lordâ€™s Spirit is all powerful over all of creation including germs and viruses, then you are susceptible and easy prey for the devastations to your health that are coming. (SEE Spirit over Matter and Faith Healing)

For even now, you can see that with the advent of S.A.R.S. and other communicable diseases, the world is turning inward and trying to keep to themselves in isolation. But we Christians are suppose to witness to others and to do that we canâ€™t just sit behind closed doors and type away on internet Bulletin Boards as pass around e-mails. We have to be out and about with real people to show them real faith.

But our faith had better be real, because faith is not something we can pretend to have. We either have it or we donâ€™t. For if we know something is absolutely Godâ€™s Will to do, then we will have the faith that the Lord shall protect us from enemies that are big or enemies that are smallâ€¦(See Seven Ways to Know Godâ€™s Will)

Itâ€™s not a competition game or a show, because if we donâ€™t have real faith, then we will catch these diseases by our own foolishness. (SEE How to get Faith) So itâ€™s literally going to be a life or death decision that sends us out amongst the diseases and plagues that will be devastating the worldâ€™s populations. And yet the Lord said â€¦â€¦

Psalms 91 5-6 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the PESTILENCE that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any PLAGUE come nigh thy dwelling.

And these plagues will come as the Lord also promised â€¦.(See Prophecy Board)

Mathew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and PESTILENCES and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

And yet as in the First exodus, we shall be protected â€¦..

Exodus 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these DISEASES upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

Deuteroromy 7:15 And the LORD will take away from thee all SICKNESS, and will put none of the EVIL DISEASES of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.

So do we believe it or not ? YES or NO ? Because our faithwill get tested, and it wonâ€™t be getting any easier to obey the Lord â€¦. for when the world and people get more and more fearful and cold, and when the terror of viruses and diseases and plagues will be rampant. â€¦â€¦

Mathew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Which will all make it more difficult to survive whatâ€™s ahead ? And yet, via the Lord's strength we have the solution and the answer and the inoculation for fear, called real love â€¦.. and confidence in the Lord.

1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

And if we do have oil and faith in your lamps now and are seeking for more NOW, our lights surely will not go out in the future. And yet if we canâ€™t handle it now, how are we going to handle it thenâ€¦...

Jeremiah 12:5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

And so is our faith real faith, or is it fair weather, good health faith only ? The answer lies with usâ€¦.. and our 'Decisions' to follow the Lord no matter what ....
